Club Med offers group courses suitable for everyone with the cost included in the price of your stay. In Europe, lessons are delivered by instructors from the national ski schools (ESF, ESS and ESI). In addition, you take priority on the ski lifts when you're part of a group class. Kids can start snowboarding at Club Med from the age of 8 at Snowboard with introductory classes. Once they’re 12 or over they join the adults so everyone can slip, slide and spin together. Your level will be assessed so you go into the right class. Beginners go to Class 1. Those heading down the blue pistes and controlling their trajectory and speed are in Class 2. Red slope veterans make Class 3 whilst Class 4 is reserved for the experts. Please note beginner lessons strictly begin on Monday and the group lessons run for 5 days Monday to Fridays.
